High Point Discovered’s Book Ends

Throughout the year, we love sharing with you the amazing, creators, planters, brewers, bakers, designers, entrepreneurs and more that contribute to the dynamic and vibrant story of our city. These stories (which can be found anytime under our voices discovered tab), always feature the background of a local contributor to our city’s culture, and it also includes their recommendations for their favorite things around High Point.

 

But their recommendations don’t stop with their favorite places to grab a drink or spend a Sunday afternoon. They also provide recommendations on something we think everyone could benefit from: books!

So we are introducing, High Point Discovered’s Book Ends! At the end of each year, we want to recap the outstanding recommendations for local High Point residents on the books that have made them – the books they love. We hope you’ll find something on this list that sparks your interest and inspires you to add one of these literary works to your own shelves.

 

And if you’re wondering where to pick up one of the books from our HPD Book Ends series, you can pop over to Sunrise Books!
